Understanding Fire, Burglary, and Insurance Ratings

When shopping for a safe, you’ll find there are different types, each designed for specific threats. Fire safes are built to protect contents from high temperatures, typically using insulated walls or fire-resistant materials. However, they generally offer little protection against theft. Burglary safes, on the other hand, are constructed with thick steel to deter break-ins but often lack fire resistance. For combined protection, gun safes and dual-rated safes feature both fire-resistant materials and secure locking mechanisms.


If you’re purchasing a safe for insurance purposes, you may be required to choose a model with aTL-15, TL-30, or TL-30X6 rating—certifications awarded by independent testing labs like Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Always check for official labels to verify these claims before making your purchase.

How Safes Are Tested and Certified

Professional safe testing is a rigorous process designed to ensure real-world reliability. Fire-rated safes are placed in furnaces, exposed to extreme heat, and subjected to drop tests to simulate building collapse. To pass, the safe must keep internal temperatures below 350°F throughout the test. Burglary-rated safes undergo hands-on attacks using a variety of tools.


Ratings like TL-15 and TL-30 indicate the safe's ability to withstand 15 or 30 minutes of concentrated attack time, not including breaks for tool changes. This testing process ensures that certified safes provide meaningful protection against skilled attackers. If you’re still unsure about what safe is right for you, contact our expert team at Securitex Locksmith. We’re here to help you make the best choice for securing your valuables at home or in the office.
